Wonderful stay with exceptional service. lovely.
What a delightful place to stay. From a very warm welcome to complimentary beer and sherry plus home baked cup cakes we were treated exceptionally well. Breakfast was super and the recommendation for dinner reservation proved perfect. Although we are well travelled a couple of firsts for us - an open fire in the lounge area of our cottage and before we departed our car was washed!

Staying at the Augusta de Mist Hotel.
The hotel is very centrally situated. The homestead and surroundings is built in the Cape Dutch style surrounded by a lovely garden.Renate the hostess was very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The staff I dealt with was friendly and their service very good. I enjoyed a quiet and restful 2 night's sleep,as well as a scrumptious breakfast and would certainly recommend the Augusta de Mist Hotel to other visitors.

Wonderful resort in Swellendam
The Augusta de Mist was fantastic. The suites are large with lovely bed and sitting areas. The bathrooms are large with delightful tubs and bubble bath! The gardens are tropical with winding paths. Breakfast in the main house was delicious and our hostess energetic, informative and chatty! Would definitely recommend and sorry we didn't spend another night to spend time in the area. There are interesting little shops and historic houses within walking distance. Had dinner at The Field and Fork which was very good.

Superlative Boutique Hotel
The owners have created an unique piece of heaven set in a garden of eden complete with culinary delights normally reserved for Michelin Star restaurants. The host, Renata, along with all the staff were fantastic - Renata brings a warmth and sense of humor that really compliments the whole experience. Without question, this is a remarkable and unforgetable place to stay when visiting Swellendam. Whether for a night or few a few weeks, you will not be dissapointed.
